Le français:

Thank you so much to the parents who have let us know your kids will be missing some school before or after spring break. It really helps us with our planning.

No French homework this week. We’ll start back up after Spring Break.

Les canetons

We continue to correct two horrible sentences on all full days, and alphabetize or sort words on our short day. We began our newest “J’observe…” writing project. Since blue class chose last time, red class got to choose this time, and they chose…“Les canetons,” because who can resist a bathroom sink full of ducklings?

Kids are beginning to finish our newest art project, where the kids chose among portions of image that selected from a magazine, and they have to complete the rest of the image. It’s a cool Gestalt kind of thing. They will be going up in the stairwell once there are enough of them.

Student goal:  I am applying myself to my school work. I am actively seeking learning.

Student goal:  I can correct grammatical and punctuation errors in sentences in French.

Student goal:  I can form and connect all the lowercase and uppercase letters correctly in cursive.

Student goal:  I am expanding my vocabulary by incorporating new words into my speaking and writing.

Les sciences humaines (la géographie):

We will begin discussing our francophone project in earnest this week and will assign countries. Countries are chosen randomly. I pull a stick with a student name and the student pulls a country from a hat. If a student is absent, they still get the same chance to select a country, but I pull for them. I am also arranging a variety of visitors to come in and talk about the francophone country they grew up in.

Student goal:  I can identify and name the world’s oceans and continents.

Les copains/Buddies:

We weren’t able to do buddies this past week because of the Salsa schedule. 😕 We will see them this coming week though.

Mme Shelli hopper_s@4j.lane.edu English & Math teacher

Math Key concepts:

•Multiplication can be thought of as a comparison in contexts other than place value.

•We can convert units of measurement in both metric and customary systems.

There is no MATH HOMEWORK this week.  

We have worked hard working on converting within the metric system. It’s been very fun to measure and compare length, mass, and volume of objects in our room and even objects from home. This week, we will work on the customary system. If you’re cooking or baking, including your kiddo in measuring using cups, quarts, pints, and gallons is a great way to help them see the customary system in real life! We’ll also practice converting between inches, feet, and yard and pounds and ounces. 

English & Social Studies

We are in week two of our 4 week integrated reading, writing, and history unit about the expansion of the United States. This week, students are reading the chapter book, In Their Own Words: Lewis and Clark. A major goal of the unit is to look at history from multiple points of view. We will read the words of Thomas Jefferson about his goals for the expedition. We’ll also listen to videos of Native perspectives as Native historians recount stories of Lewis and Clark that have been passed down for generations.

This 4j English/Social Studies learning module incorporates lessons from Oregon’s Tribal History/ Shared History lessons, has students reading from primary sources to learn about various perspectives on history, and teaches students to write opinion essays using evidence from text.

Thank you so much to the parents who have let us know your kids will be missing some school before or after spring break. It really helps us with our planning.

We continue to correct two horrible sentences on all full days, and alphabetize or sort words on our short day. Most students have completed the most recent “J’observe…” writing project about the mama and baby polar bears, and some of the kids are really developing their writing! A few students will be reading their writing aloud to the class this week, before we start the new one, which has yet to be selected.

We began our newest art project, where the kids chose among portions of image that selected from a magazine, and they have to complete the rest of the image. It’s a cool Gestalt kind of thing. Nobody has finished, nor will they soon, and the attached image is one that I began years ago, but have not completed. It, at least, gives an idea of the project.

Student goal:  I am applying myself to my school work. I am actively seeking learning.

Student goal:  I can correct grammatical and punctuation errors in sentences in French.

Student goal:  I can form and connect all the lowercase and uppercase letters correctly in cursive.

Student goal:  I am expanding my vocabulary by incorporating new words into my speaking and writing.

Les sciences humaines (la géographie):

We completed our map about different climate zones in the world, and we’ll begin discussing our francophone project this week and may assign countries. Countries are chosen randomly. I pull a stick with a student name and the student pulls a country from a hat. I am also arranging a variety of visitors to come in and talk about their francophone country.

Student goal:  I can identify and name the world’s oceans and continents.

Les copains/Buddies:

This week, both classes did an art project with their buddies. They had a friendship flower and students shared writing qualities they look for in a friend on each petal.

Mme Shelli hopper_s@4j.lane.edu English & Math teacher

Math Key concepts:

•In a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to the right.

•Multiplication can be thought of as a comparison in contexts other than place value.

There IS nightly MATH HOMEWORK this week. This includes the option of bringing to school something from home that is weighed or measured in the metric system.

Last week, students began learning about the metric system of measurement. This week, they will practice measuring in grams and meters, and they will work on converting between kilo-, centi-, and milli- (grams, liters, and meters). While at home and in your daily lives, please help your child notice meters, grams and liters so they can begin to make connections beyond the classroom.

English & Social Studies

We finished the dramatic conclusion of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen last week. On Monday, students will write a well developed paragraph to demonstrate their understanding of how the main character, Brian, evolved throughout his harrowing experience. Last week, students finished drafts of survival narratives; I am now in the process of reading and giving feedback to each student. Later this week, students will revise their stories a final time, and the stories will come home to share with you next week.

Our next module in ELA is an integrated reading, writing, and history unit about the expansion of the United States. This week, students will be reading portions of the text Portland Since Time Immemorial to learn more about Indigenous people of Oregon. Later in the week, we’ll read about the U.S. government’s goal to expand the boundary of the United States in the 1800s with the Louisiana Purchase and about Thomas Jefferson’s push west with the Corps of Discovery.  A major goal of the unit is to look at history from multiple points of view.

Le français:

This week’s French homework is filled with words that the kids misuse or confuse in class. Here is a copy of the homework for this week:  mots variés 4 mars 2024 l Vocab

Here is me saying and spelling each word: 

 

Here is me saying each word and translating it into English:

 

We continue to correct two horrible sentences on all full days, and alphabetize on our short day, although we’ll be sorting words instead this Wednesday into two groups:  adjectives that come before the noun and adjectives that come after the noun. We recommenced our reading groups this past week and will do them once this week. We also conjugated two new verbs:  mettre (to put or place) and prendre (to take). 

Most students have completed the most recent “J’observe…” writing project about the mama and baby polar bears, and some of the kids are really developing their writing! A few students will be reading their writing aloud to the class next week, before we start the new one, which has yet to be selected.

We continue studying telling time in French and will continue to do so for the next week. Time is expressed a bit differently in French. In English, if it’s 10:00 am, then in French, it’s 10h00. The letter “h” stands for “heure” meaning hour/hours. Most students are doing just fine with it, although I haven’t graded today’s work yet, nor has everyone completed it.

We began our newest art project, where the kids chose among portions of image that selected from a magazine, and they have to complete the rest of the image. It’s a cool Gestalt kind of thing. Nobody has finished, nor will they soon, and the attached image is one that I began years ago, but have not completed. It, at least, gives an idea of the project.

Student goal:  I am applying myself to my school work. I am actively seeking learning.

Student goal:  I can correct grammatical and punctuation errors in sentences in French.

Student goal:  I can form and connect all the lowercase and uppercase letters correctly in cursive.

Student goal:  I am expanding my vocabulary by incorporating new words into my speaking and writing.

Les sciences humaines (la géographie):

We continue our geography unit as a precursor to our big francophone country study in the spring, and the kids are loving it. We will continue to work with a compass rose (la rose des vents) and the four cardinal directions, identify where continents and countries are in relation to one another, and we’ve continued to talk about the difference between a continent, a country, a state or province or region, and a city, and the prepositions we use with them. Many kids are still confused by which is which, so if you have the opportunity to talk about the macro to the micro on how we identify physical places, please do so, especially if you’re traveling. We completed our map about different climate zones in the world.

Student goal:  I can identify and name the world’s oceans and continents.

Student goal:  I can identify the four cardinal directions.

Les copains/Buddies:

On Wednesday, blue class did a science experiment that the red class had already done about how to make air visible, and red class played a math game with dice and adding. We also stuck with our buddies for the all-school (very wet and rainy) walk on Friday morning.

Mme Shelli hopper_s@4j.lane.edu English & Math teacher

Math Key concepts:

• Write fractions with denominators of 10 and 100  in decimal notation. 

• Model the value of decimal fractions on a number line

•In a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to the right.

There is no MATH HOMEWORK this week.

We wrap up our first unit on decimals this week, but will continue to discuss decimal notation as we move into our next unit “Introducing Measurement Conversions.” Students will solve problems involving converting metric units of measurement for length, weight, and volume. For example, “Michael is carrying 6 kilograms. If he is holding two boxes, and each weighs the same amount, how many grams each box weigh?”

 

English

We will wrap up the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen this week. To finish the novel, students will write a short paper that will analyze how the main character, Brian, changes as he encounters extreme challenges.

Ask your child about their fiction survival narrative. Most students are just about finished with their stories. This week, they will edit, revise and print their stories to make into a class book. A copy of their final draft will be sent home to share with you in the near future.

 

Here is more information for parents about the Wit and Wisdom unit, Extreme Settings. The unit will continue through the beginning of March.

Le français:

We had our French vocabulary quiz on Friday. This week, I attempted a new way of helping students be successful in learning the geography vocabulary and in being able to be successful on the quiz. The sentences we did during “horrible sentence time” (les phrases horribles) were essentially the same sentences that were on the quiz. That said, the average of the two classes was 86%. Thirteen students scored 104%, making it the high mode for the class. The low mode was 79%, scored by seven students. This quiz will come home on Monday.

We continue to correct two horrible sentences on all full days, and alphabetize on our short day. The alphabetizing includes vocabulary words or a sound we’re working on. We’re continuing our reading groups this week. This week, for sure, we will conjugate two new verbs:  mettre (to put or place) and prendre (to take).  Most students have completed their culminating cursive packet in yellow. If you haven’t seen your child’s yet, feel free to ask him/her/them about it.

We began studying time in French and will continue to do so for the next couple of weeks. Time is expressed a bit differently in French. In English, if it’s 10:00 am, then in French, it’s 10h00. The letter “h” stands for “heure” meaning hour/hours.

Student goal:  I am applying myself to my school work. I am actively seeking learning.

Student goal:  I can correct grammatical and punctuation errors in sentences in French.

Student goal:  I can form and connect all the lowercase and uppercase letters correctly in cursive.

Student goal:  I am expanding my vocabulary by incorporating new words into my speaking and writing.

We will continue to work with a compass rose (la rose des vents), identify continents and oceans of the world, and we’ve begun talking about the difference between a continent, a country, a state or province or region, and a city. Many kids are still confused by which is which, so if you have the opportunity to talk about the macro to the micro on how we identify physical places, please do so, especially if you’re traveling. We’ve put together a map of the continents, and this week we’ll make a map about different climates (le climat) in the world.

Student goal:  I can identify and name the world’s oceans and continents.

Student goal:  I can identify the four cardinal directions.

Les copains/Buddies:

Red class buddies experimented with making air visible with their buddies, using syringes (les seringues) and a tube. Blue class buddies worked on a booklet about famous characters from Black History and chose a person to whom they wrote a thank you note.

Math Key concepts:

• Write fractions with denominators of 10 and 100  in decimal notation. 

• Model the value of decimal fractions on a number line

There MATH DECIMAL HOMEWORK this week.

 If you see decimals around in your everyday life at the store or in scores, etc, please ask your student to read it to you in decimal form (with “tenths” and/or “hundredths”) to get them thinking about where decimals are in their real lives!

English

We are half-way through Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. As we read the exciting yet complex text, students will analyze how the main character, Brian, changes as he encounters extreme challenges. Brian will struggle for quite awhile as he tries to survive in the harsh Canadian wilderness, but eventually he’ll overcome many challenges.

Ask your child about their fiction survival narrative. Most students have written the exposition and rising action of their story. They will write a climax, falling action, and resolution next week.

 

Here is more information for parents about the Wit and Wisdom unit, Extreme Settings. The unit will continue through the beginning of March.

 

 

 

 

Yearbook: ACTION NEEDED

Le français:

We had our French vocabulary quiz last Monday. I spent a lot more time giving suggestions to students on how to prepare for the quiz, so I was hoping some students would do better. Unfortunately, those who did well always do well, and those who do poorly, did poorly. We’ll keep working on it. This week’s homework is geography words as we have begun our geography study. Here it is:  fév 2024 géographie vocab

Below, I am pronouncing and spelling the words in French:

Here, I am just saying the words. This also includes an English translation of each expression & is good for studying and for Thursday night’s quiz:

 

We continue to correct two horrible sentences on all full days, and alphabetize on our short day. The alphabetizing includes vocabulary words or a sound we’re working on. We spent some more time on our latest “J’observe…” writing project (Les ours polaires), and the kids are enjoying writing about this photo, and many are still learning how to write a good opening sentence. This week, we will conjugate two new verbs:  mettre (to put or place) and prendre (to take).  Most students have completed their culminating cursive packet in yellow. If you haven’t seen your child’s yet, feel free to ask him/her/them about it.

We’ll also begin studying time in French, to follow up on the time telling study they’ve done in English with Mme Shelli.

Student goal:  I am applying myself to my school work. I am actively seeking learning.

Student goal:  I can correct grammatical and punctuation errors in sentences in French.

Student goal:  I can form and connect all the lowercase and uppercase letters correctly in cursive.

Student goal:  I am expanding my vocabulary by incorporating new words into my speaking and writing.

Les sciences humaines (la géographie):

We were able to begin our geography unit this past week as a precursor to our francophone country study, and the kids are loving it. So many kids are enthusiastic about geography, I’m learning things from them! Students really need to get their geography vocabulary down as we’ll be using it daily over the next few months. We’ve worked with a compass rose (la rose des vents), identified continents and oceans of the world, and we’ve begun talking about the difference between a continent, a country, a state or province or region, and a city. Many kids are still confused by which is which, so if you have the opportunity to talk about the macro to the micro on how we identify physical places, please do so, especially if you’re traveling. We’ll spend the next week working on manipulating maps so that students have a good idea of the continents and their relationships with one another and the different kinds of maps that exist. We also watched a little video about Pangea (la Pangée), unfortunately in English, but the kids were really intrigued by the idea.

Student goal:  I can identify and name the world’s oceans and continents.

Student goal:  I can identify the four cardinal directions.

Les sciences:

We have completed the rocks and soils portion of sciences, and we’re moving into experiments with erosion and deposition, which involves lots of soil and running water.  We completed our second foldable for the journal which explains slow earth changes and rapid earth changes. We’ll complete our erosion and deposition experiments, then we’ll move into our Energy unit.

Les copains/Buddies:

Last week, we made a TON of cards. Your kids are so lovely, they wanted to make cards for all the staff that doesn’t have a classroom, so they decorated, signed and enjoyed delivering cards for most of the staff. They also made cards for their buddies, and during our Buddy time, we exchanged cards, and they made a heart craft together. They LOOOOVE buddy time, and so do their buddies.

Math

There is NO MATH HOMEWORK unless your child was absent and needs to return it this week.

SEE the upcoming UO Math event below for a family event you may be interested in attending.

Mme Hannah, our student teacher, is taking the lead to teach math in the morning class this week. Here’s her message for what we’re doing in math right now:

Students have begun working on decimals! We will be learning about how our knowledge of fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 can also be written in decimal form. If you see decimals around in your everyday life at the store or in scores, etc, please ask your student to read it to you in decimal form (with “tenths” and/or “hundredths”) to get them thinking about where decimals are in their real lives!

English

In celebration of Black History month, we are reading about important leaders in American history from the book “Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History.” We also will have  short history lesson on the story of Ruby Bridges. As a culminating activity on March 1st, we’ll participate in a school Ruby Bridges Walk. See more below.

We read the first five chapters of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen last week. Several students were absent, so some will have some extra reading to do to catch up. As we read the exciting yet complex text, we’re analyzing how the main character, Brian, changes as he encounters extreme challenges. He will struggle for quite awhile as he tries to survive in the harsh Canadian wilderness, but eventually he’ll overcome many challenges.

As we read, we’ll also stop along the way so students can write fiction narratives with a survival theme. Students will brainstorm ideas, plan a narrative using a typical plot line, and will begin their rough drafts this week.

 

Here is more information for parents about the Wit and Wisdom unit, Extreme Settings. The unit will continue through the beginning of March.

 

 

 

UO Math Festival Event

10am-1pm on Saturday, February 24, 2024

The Annual Eugene Youth Math Festival! This is an event that takes place every year with the support of the University of Oregon and the National Science Foundation. The goal is to engage young students ages 5-14 who like math and share a passion for games, problem solving, and hands-on math activities. There will be over 40 tables for play! We hope your family will consider attending the free event at McArthur Court, University of Oregon. No registration is needed. More information here.
